Dynamic Slip Casting - Robotic Approach for Adaptable and Efficient Clay Form Production

(Collaborate with Renhu(Franklin) Wu, Shunta Moriuchi, Sihan Li)

This research project introduces a new slip-casting approach using a 6-axis robot, enabling diverse clay forms with one mold. Real-time simulation and a customized end effector enhance control and edge precision. This method combines slip casting with robotics, overcoming limitations for ceramic manufacturing and fostering innovation and creativity. A full-scale mock-up of a facade section showcasing this approach in potential architectural application.
